Time is our constant companion, and we want to know what time has come. The clock gives us this important information at any time of the day or night- whether on the wall or standing on a clearly arranged surface such as a table, shelf, high board or sideboard. A clock face with the arrangement of numerical or Roman numerals and an hour, minute and possibly also a second hand are part of the basic equipment of a clock. The incorporation into an individual metal case and corresponding glass cover also makes the clock an attractive decorative element. It is indispensable in every room, such as the living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway and bedroom. It can also be used to decorate a child's room or bedside table.
